The
Little Network Book for Windows and Macintosh |
260 pages (July, 1999) Networking for home users and small businesses who want to create a small network without a network server. Topics include setting up the network hardware, sharing an Internet access line, playing multiplayer games, exchanging files and email, and more. Lon and I were careful to avoid the use of network jargon where possible. However, we didn't gloss over the hard stuff: the book presents you step-by-step instructions in English, so you don't have to become a network expert to set one up. The Little Network Book doesn't focus on cross-platform issues, but can teach a Mac user how to set up a simple PC network, and a PC user how to do Mac networking. John Grimes' illustrations (okay, cartoons) even make the book entertaining. (NOTE: The Amazon.com page for this book includes incorrect information, including the number of pages, the cover, and even has errors in the title. For detailed information, see the Peachpit site.) |

Apple
Confidential: The Real Story of Apple Computer,
Inc.
|
268 pages (March, 1999) A history of Apple's role in the OS wars and the personalities behind the blunders. The book covers Apple's rise and fall (and fall and rise), including the oversight in 1985 that allowed Microsoft Windows to dominate the personal computing industry, and Apple's aborted effort to port the Mac OS to run on Intel-based PCs. Apple Confidential isn't a dull business case study, but an engaging read with dozens of revealing quotes, photos, illustrations, and timelines. Linsmeyer researched forgotten archives and interviewed dozens of the key players.
